Distill: A pattern for building a personal learning system that compounds over time

Distill

A pattern for building a personal learning system that compounds over time.

This is an idea file. It is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, or similar). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The Core Idea

Most people consume far more than they absorb. You read articles, watch talks, skim papers — and a week later you remember the vibe but not the substance. The problem is the lack of synthesis. Nobody sits down after reading something and carefully updates their mental model of the world. It's tedious, and you'd have to remember everything you've already learned to know what connects.
